Wallpaper Image Quality - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently noticed that seemingly all of the images I apply as a wallpaper degrade in quality once they are applied. What I mean by this is the original image remains HD but the actual wallpaper degrades in quality. Does anyone else have this problem? I have tried some wallpaper apps, wallpaper wizardrii being one of them but they don't seem to have any effect on the quality. Any help is appreciated.

I would recommend using a very high resolution wallpaper and cropping it a little to make the dimensions 1 x 1.5 and then use the app called image2wall
I found this very useful to get good quality image.

That's the thing I have been using full high resolution pictures and still have this issue. I'll try the image2wall app and post back if it solves the problem or not, thanks for the suggestion.

For 800x480 screen you need to make 960x800 resolution wallpaper as it is scrolled over multiple screens.

I'm experiencing same issue. Just before I close it, it shows in true colors and disappears.
Same thing here. Only seems to do it while I'm using a rom that has the bravia engine though

In most cases, you have to learn how to use the camera. It's not a SLR system. What you see on the screen is not necessarily what you're going to capture. All the settings, and there are many of them... it's a pretty capable camera, in the camera menu are there for a reason. Leaving everything on "auto" is generally not the best way to approach photography. Experience is the best teacher. Learn what ISO, Exposure, White balance, Contrast, Scene mode, and two dozen other parameters do. It will help you get a great shot when you need one.
are the pictures affected? i'd assume not if everything on auto setting as mentioned above.
I played with the settings still dim pictures

Try increasing the brightness of the display. It should make the pictures look alot better.

I believe you may have misread the question. I think he is speaking of the brightness of the actual image, not it appearance in the gallery. The images are still dark when dumped to a computer. I believe the poster above has it correct to alter settings.
There is information in various reviews online that state that the camera functions well at either high or really low levels of light. If there is SOME light you're out of luck. I find this to be true with mine

The poster did not state that. He simply said it was dim when viewing it. I honestly had the same problem. Taking a picture and seeing how nice it looked but then when I went to look at it in the gallery it was dim. So I tried turning the brightness of the display up alil bit, it looked just as bright when I initially took the picture.

Yeah its the actual picture not the display, has anyone played with the settings and had any better results?

This is decently bright but the room.is much much brighter

I haven't played with the settings yet. But that one you posted is a really good looking pic

Oh I see. That picture is actually good tho. Here is one I took last weekend. The room was really really bright. The camera sensor on our phones need a decent amount of light for the picture to come out bright.

I only experience the issue when viewing in the Gallery, or immediately after taking the shot. When I turn auto-brightness off" they look exactly the same as they did on screen. As for dumping to the computer, I am not 100% but all of the ones uploaded to FB have been fine.
Yeah they ain't too great in dark rooms. But those pics look great. I compared some of my pics with my wife's 4s. She had to take the same pic several times to get it to show the detail mine showed with 1 shot

[Q] Camera JPEG quality

is there a way to change jpeg quality/compression ratio of the camera pictures for the stock camera application?
current setting is producing pretty low qualiry pictures
I'm sure it could be modded. Hopefully we can find someone to do this for us. There was a mod for the vivid that didnt compress the jog at all.

[Q] Wallpaper size.

I've been trying to use my own wallpapers and wanted to know what size I should set them at on my PC before exporting to my phone.
I use Gimp to resize my photos. I've used the "standard" 2 x width by 1 x hight formula to no avail. My wallpapers come out grainy or blurry on my phone.

The ones from Zedge are 1080x960 and look fine.

[Q] is there a AOSP/CM10.1 Camera app that...

Camera app for CM10.1/AOSP that doesn't take pics in WIDESCREEN? like the stock TW app? (Just change resolution)
Tried the moto cam app, doesn't store to external SD, also only 2 pic resolution sizes.
Has to be fully functional.
Thanks!!!

In the stock camera app, set the resolution to 6 megapixels. It is a slightly smaller resolution, but I think its the same quality.
Good luck
no

It still takes pictures in wide screen format. I don't care about the resolution size, I just went it to take non wide screen pictures. 4:3 aspect ratio instead of 16:9. But thanks!
I'm sorry I misread your post. All I can think of is taking a full sized picture and then finding an app to crop it to the desired aspect ratio, or doing it on a computer with a program. A while back I used an app to do that, I don't remember the name. Just search "picture crop" in the play store and I'm sure you will find something. Good luck

I'd rather not have to do it through another app. But thanks you for everything.
